I have not had this exact display problem, but to me it sounds like the battery is getting weak. You might want to get the battery load tested. A number of members have had the Subaru 620 batteries replaced under warranty. Including myself. It didn't pass the dealer's load test.

 

Thanks for the suggestion - I'm bringing it to another dealer this Friday (I just moved to a new state) to have them take a look, and will make sure they test the battery.

 

Also consider that with the level of integration in modern vehicles when one system goes offline for one reason or another it may cascade to other systems. Eyesight off/disabled would result in collision-avoidance and lane departure system being disabled. An ABS issue would result in collision-avoidance, RAB and traction control being disabled. Combinations abound.

And, yes, a low voltage condition can cause the computers to go crazy.

 

Last week when it was real cold I had a few warnings.
Eyesight off (line through the word), RAB, forget what else was lit. Drove to the convenience store that's practically at the end of my street and back (it was cold! And I hadn't turned the Outback on in a couple days, so wanted to run it).
A little disappointing since I bought this vehicle in Nov 21. But I assumed it was the cold, and not a major issue. Been fine since.

 

Lately, we have had days where it is as cold as -27 C. Starting up the car, the only thing I have had is the EyeSight being disabled due to the cold temperatures. This triggers 3 different warning lights: Forward Collision OFF, Lane Assist OFF and Reverse Automatic Braking (RAB) OFF. I also get the message in the CID as shown in the picture above. These all go away once the cabin warms up to about -10, which happens after just a few minutes of driving.

I only get the three aformentioned warning lights and the EyeSight message. I DO NOT get the AT Oil Temp or a Check Engine light.

 

My eyesight disabled warning did not mention temperature.

 

I've had similar warnings, including check engine light. Even had a no start issue after a short drive. All gets rectified after warming up or letting it sit for an hour.

It's been unseasonably cold here.

 

Same as everybody else, EyeSight was the only thing that turned off immediately following a cold start (below 0 but above -15). Then went back to normal after warming up.

 

Had this happen a while ago, hasn't happened since. Temperature was around -7 celsius I believe.

That's pretty much what I experienced. A very cold day, started ok, drove 15mins, left the car while I shopped for 15mins, came back and car wouldn't start. These are similar to my issues.

Car did start after another 10 mins but Xmode was flashing and engine light came on.

All this reset after it sat for an hour off in my driveway.

 

Thanks all for the replies! caddy16v your Legacy dashboard looks the most similar to what I saw on my Outback.

One follow up question - did anyone's issue continue after the vehicle was warmed up? Based on the posts it seems like everyone's dash went back to normal after driving for a few miles, whereas mine did not go away after driving over 3 hours. It took a dealer reset to get all back to normal.

 

There are so many interconnected computers in cars. Not just one, but several are involved in the operation of the car. I sometimes miss the days of tinkering with a car and checking the timing with the timing light. The kid across the street thought it was a small handheld floodlight and could not comprehend why I would set the timing on an engine.

If one thinks about it, there is a computer for the engine and transmission then others that handle other control functions.

 

Interesting Cold Weather Glitch (Resolved on its own)

Well I am quite familiar with eyesight being disabled when it is very cold outside. Especially as my Outback is parked in the driveway. However, today I started it when the temperature was about negative 18 degrees Celsius. Started up fine with no errors and I took a 15 min drive to Lowe's and...

I posted this exact thing 2 years ago to the date.

It never happened again. Don't sweat it.

 

It never happened again. Don't sweat it.

When there's a potential for being left on the side of the road in deadly conditions it's hard to "not sweat it" (so to speak).

 

Feb 3,2023, minus 20C today in ontario, auto started my 2021 crosstrek, drove it for 6 minutes to grocery store, no issues. In store 8 minutes, drove for 5, all kinds of lights came on engine oil, check engine, rab off, assist off, drove sluggish into driveway? Wouldn't reverse unless I pressed heavy on acceptor, felt like engine struggling

 

Just had something very similar happen to our 2022 Outback Limited. It was -16F with wind chill to -45F. Car was fine from home to a destination about 10 miles away. When I started the car 3 hours later to return home, the dashboard lit up like a Christmas tree. Icons and warnings blinking all over, 'BRAKE' warning on solid despite the fact that the parking brake was definitely released. Engine was fine, but the car would barely limp along at 35-40 miles with transmission stuck in one of the lower gears. When we called the dealer, they said ours was about the 10th call that morning with the same issue. This type of cold, while not common in Vermont, does happen periodically and I'm feeling very uneasy about being left on the side of the road in lethally cold conditions. The dealer will look at it Friday and I won't be surprised at all if they simply reset it with no diagnosis or correction of the underlying issue. <sigh>.

 

UPDATE: After denying that there was any known or systematic issue with cold weather operation, the dealership magically found and applied a software update to correct sensor problems with the transmission controller.

 

Yes! We just got a 2010 Outback. Same thing happens to it. We live in TX. As soon as it gets below 40 degrees all sorts of dash lights turn on. I had to disconnect and reconnect the battery to reset.
